Read And Write Files To A Shared Folder On A Network
Dec 2, 2011
All i am trying to do is read and write files to a shared folder on a network in visual basic (VS 2010). I can go to the folder through windows without a problem and without being prompted for a password. However when i try to do it through visual basic, it cant find the directory. Here is my small snippet of code that i (hope) is telling me that the program cannot connect to the folder. [code] Are there any known issues with VS 2010 that may cause this? Maybe something else in my code that could have an effect? This is in my form_load event though, so it is literally one of the first things that runs.
Im trying to write a loop that will read through a number of *.csv files in a folder and then stuff the data into SQL. The code works and will happily put the data i want for a named file into SQL no problems. So when i had that working i then tried to loop it so that it would do the same for all files in the folder until all files had been done, and not error out if there where no files etc.
Maybe im tired (well, i am) or not had enough coffee but i just cant get this to work, it should be simple - i know it is infact, but its making ME feel simple.i think i should have an integer count in there, but similar examples ive seen dont use one. Also when trying to open the path i get an error at runtime "the path is not of a legal form"
code: Public Sub ImportCUSTCSVs() Dim dt As New DataTable() Dim line As String = Nothing[code].
I have a web service that is currently calling the DOS command copy to put a text file to a specified network share.
This is the code: Imports System.Web.Services Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols Imports System.ComponentModel Imports System.Data Imports System.IO Imports System.Xml [Code] .....
It appears doing this might be causing some problems and our front-end programmer suggested I see if I can output the stream "output" directly to the network shared printer specified by the SOAP request. Is this possible? This is VS 2010
With the help of NetFileEnum or Openfiles.exe of system32, we can get the username who has opened the shared files. Is there any API function or any exe files in any programming language like c#, vb.net, visual c++ to find out who is the user to create, rename, or delete shared files or folders on the network?
I have a program where I need to be able to access files from an administrative share on a remote machine where the username is administrator and there is no password. I want to be able to access these files without the user getting prompted to input the username and password.
I have searched around and found some references to WMI - but as far as I can tell, WMI is mainly for managing the remote machine and not necessarily for file access (?). Also, some information gathered about WMI leads me to believe that it may be disabled on some machines or not installed on others (?). Since this program is meant to go out to a diverse customer base, I need to make sure that I cover as many angles as possible to ensure this program will run on as many machines as possible.
I want to develop an application which can Write, Save, Read text files(or html files) What I want the application to do is. When I open my application I can write stuffs and then it will save it to my hosting/server. Then, the application will read the text which I already save.. So far, I can only make the application read it by using WebBrowser control and navigating it to a specified URL. Example: [URL](or message.txt) Which I modified from the website not from the application. I want to modify the text or html files from my application.
I've looked for code on this, and it seems needlessly confusing to me. I've tried some code I found and it doesn't return the proper value (I can't find the link to it now). So, I'm attempting to avoid that which I do not understand by writing a function that creates then deletes a file:
Friend Function GetFolderAccess(ByVal sDirectory As String) As Boolean Try Dim fs As New FileStream(sDirectory & " estfile.test", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite) Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
[code]....
Through testing, this appears to work for both read and write access. I originally had a File.Exists before the File.Delete, but the function would sometimes return True when it should have returned False.
I am just trying to get to grips with the setup tool in visual studio and seem to be making progress but im falling over with access permissions.My projects includes an mdf table and when i install my project the folder and db file is always set to read only and the application cannot write to it.How can i change or set the permission when the application is installed?
Well when i am uploading files with FTP then people can always read my information with a Network Sniffer.Thats why i now want to solve it with a PHP-Script now:This is the information when i upload a file:everything that is red i do not understand i tryed it then with the code below but doesent work.

I have a link on a VB.net aspx page that needs to open a folder in a subdirectory of a web site and provide read and write permissions so that files can be copied into and read from as well as deleted. ONLY from this folder.I have this funtionality working on a dev and demo PC but they are both on my domain. Clicking the link opens Windows Explorer and I can copy /cut & Paste, etc.The public/production PC is on the LAN, but not part of the domain. I know there are ways to allow folder read/write permissions on a public server like this but I am not too sure on the safest way to do this. The upside, the only users that need to have read/write/delete access are employees. Forms Authentication, ASP Membership directs non-employees to other pages within the site. Likewise, the membership directs employees to an admin section of the site.
I am working with Vb.Net 2005, at run time I receive the error; UnauthorizedAccessException was unhandled Access to the path 'F:New FolderTest' is denied and this path does exists..

My primariry task is to read all the zip files in folder Test, unzip them and copy them to folder Test2.
reading and writing files. Let's say I have a text file with multiple lines that I want to be read into my visual basic program. The first line is displayed in textboxA while the rest of the lines are displayed in textboxB. How do I accomplish this? Am I able to use the peek method for textboxB but somehow tell it to skip the first line? Now textboxB is obviously a multiline textbox and I want the user to be able to type something into another textbox (textboxC), press a button, and it will be displayed in textboxA. How do I make the text in textboxC get displayed on the first line of textboxA and move all the other lines down the list?
in the following thread, [URL]..my first reply, writes and reads two files..
my question is, is that code used properly for writing/reading those 2 files?
for some odd reason, i feel like i am over using the writers/readers.is there a way to only use one writer/reader, not 2, as my code in that thread does, to write/read 2 or more files?
I have a video encoder app made with VB6 that users frequently have issues with. The problem that people encounter is that files do not show up in the output folder where my application is set to write them. The output folder is located in C:Program FilesMyAppOutput. Vista users can sometimes click "Compatibility Files" and see the outputted files. Sometimes I must tell users to "Run As Administrator.."
I have an application that works in both 32 and 64 bit, except that on the 64 bit system it can not open/ read/write any files.I know the 64bit file system is different, from what I heard. How can I make up for the changes? I have no access to a 64bit system, but I want to make my program able to find and open the files.
I need to wqrite an app that can read through an Outlook PST file, and write messages to another PST file based on the content. I have never done any Office Automation, and was looking for pointers in getting started.
Public Function LoadBinaryFile(strFilename As String) As Byte() Using fsSource As FileStream = New FileStream(strFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read) ' Read the source file into a byte array.
I am trying to watch files in a directory to determine when files are opened/accessed. I thought FileSystemWatcher would do the trick using the event Changed.
Problem is that some applications do not create a lock on the file they open/access or change either the date modified or date accessed (even after fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0). Notepad for example. Apparently is makes a copy of the file in memory and plays with it there until you save it. Nor does it update the Date Accessed.
How can I monitor a directory of files and be notified when a file is simply opened/accessed by any program (e.g. Notepad)? Files may be opened from another computer, not necessarily on the computer running the "watcher".
I have many text files in a folder. What I can do now is to read through one text at a time and insert it into the database. My little app reads a text file when I debug it. So, I need to run it several times to read all those text files and import them into the database.
My question is how to read multiple text files inside a folder at a time. Here's my code which works fine but it reads only one text files at a time.Private Sub btnRead_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRead.Click
[Code]...
I need a way to loop through a folder and check if there's text file. But I cant get it right. Can anyone show me some code or links ? I'm using VB.NET, .NET 3.5
I use a code like this which perfectly works and creates MS Excel files so I can create Excel files and save my data into it.I also use a similar code to read the data, however, it only read and writes Excel 97-2003 files, and does not support Excel 2007 file format![code]...
